Sinclair Broadcast Group Removed From Sony Vue Platforms

Baltimore, MD (May 2, 2018) – Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI), (the “Company,” “Sinclair”) regretfully announced that, as a result of Sony failing to comply with certain contractual provisions, all of Sinclair’s ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC affiliated stations have been removed from Sony’s PlayStation Vue platform. The impasse affects all of Sony’s Playstation Vue subscribers who are located in Sinclair markets, although because of the very small subscriber base that PlayStation Vue has this event will have no material impact on Sinclair.
